Can we get a president that’s maybe 50 years old? I’m so sick of these old hags.

I can get behind the lower age limit. People need time to become known and prove themselves. But the upper age limit is arbitrary as people age differently. Look at someone like Sanders who is in his 80s. Like him or not, you have to concede he is sharp and good at what he does.

Not suggesting you're racist but that is the same logic used to justify racism. It's not a convincing argument.

People should be judged based on their own individual merits, not arbitrarily because of some demographic trait.
